Dr. Blair was an invited speaker at this year's Hsp90 International Conference Dr. Blair presented on the lab's recent paper "Fkbp5 Gene Deletion: Circadian Rhythm Profile and Brain Proteomics in Aged Mice," which was published in Aging Cell.

Congratulations, Laura Verdina! Laura Verdina was selected for an Outstanding Poster Award at the 2024 VA Research Day for her poster entitled "Impact of FKBP51 Deletion on the Aged Brain".

Baliqis delivers her first seminar at USF! Second year PhD student, Baliqis Olukade, presented her PhD work focused on regulating Hsp90 co-chaperone networks for the regulation of tau accumulation as part of the 2025 Spring Neuroscience Institute Seminar Series.

Congratulations, Dr. Gebru! Niat Gebru successfully defended his PhD dissertation on the effects of FKBP51 in the brain. His dissertation research identified new proteins that may mediate the beneficial effects of FKBP51 deletion and identified a surprising effect of high FKBP51 on circadian rhythms...

New Blair Lab Publication in the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules Research, spearheaded by Abigail Esquivel, was published in the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules. In this work, we identify that DnaJ/Hsp40 molecular chaperones are enriched with regulators of tau...

New lab publication on Hsc70 inhibitors regulating tau In a collaboration with Dr. James Leahy's lab in the Department of Chemistry at USF, we characterized the properties of novel Hsc70 inhibitors. These inhibitors were based off of a prior Hsc70 inhibitor, JG-98. We found that substitutions that...

Dr. Shannon Hill joins the Department of Chemistry at USF We are excited to announce that Dr. Shannon Hill has transitioned from our lab to open her own independent lab as a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of South Florida. We are excited to continue...
